A cage that you could access next to the fence gate, where you could put in the animal and it would run inside the fence until they got in in the AM and let it in... but I THINK they stopped it. They put it in initially because people would throw unwanted animals over the fence at night. You might ask the Sheriff's Dept.

Sometimes the animals would break free in the AM and there would be dogs running down the street, laughing!

has a large penned area that I believe is padlocked after hours.
The county shelter on 21 past the airstation has a drop off cage.
Either is not a good way to dump a dog, there are a lot of rescue avenues out there. If you want to email me at andys_child@yahoo.com I can help you place this animal?

Karen A is right, dumping a dog after hours at a shelter is not only a bad idea, it's illegal. Hilton Head Humane has cameras monitoring their parking lot and they prosecute, so you probably want to go to the appropriate County facility during the daytime.

An animal found in Jasper County, as I believe this one was, needs to be taken to the Jasper Animal Rescue Mission on Carters Mill Road in Ridgeland. They perform Animal Control services for Jasper County. There is no fee to turn an animal in. Call 726-7799 for hours and information.

I called JARM and they said they would put the puppy to sleep if I take it to them....I dont know what to do.I refuse to let him be put down! This sweet puppy isnt doing well with my two older dogs. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. thanks and have a great weekend.

Getting permission to hold a Pet Adoption Fair is tough enough, wanting to do it indoors is getting us a lot of eye-rolling.

Most people do want to help homeless pets. Potential liability and property damage are the problems. Anybody in the pet business (vets, groomers etc) has to be concerned about implied endorsement when they let us hold an event.

Everybody else faces the possibility of damage to their furniture and decorations either from our animals or people bringing a pet in. Even at Neighbors' we have learned to stay well back from the sodded grass areas or our foot traffic kills it off.

Neighbors' has been very accomodating to us and we look forward to being able to get back out there as soon as temperatures permit. In the meantime we're going to the new Petco at Exit #57 in Walterboro. We will be helping Petco open new stores in Charleston, Beaufort and Bluffton over the next few months. Eventually we will probably rotate between Neighbors' and the Bluffton Petco.
